Weekly Weather July 19, 2010

There are weeks in our lives and our world are more important than others. The next 4 weeks are VERY, VERY IMPORTANT! In fact, in hindsight, you may say the next four weeks were perhaps the most important weeks in your life to date! Pretty cool eh? You have advance notice about the most important month long time period in your life. Consider your self alerted! Astrology offers guidance so you can navigate your life with consciousness, hope and clarity.

Starting this week, the t-square in the heavens tightens down into a clamping action in our charts and our lives. We have been feeling it get tighter and tighter. Now it starts to execute its magic and bring about needed changes in our lives. T-squares are action oriented aspect configurations of planets lined up and fighting with each other. Or challenging each other to grow and evolve. Similar to how a strong wind or pounding rain challenges plants to grow strong, bold and tall, t-squares challenge us to take ourselves in hand to deal with the situation(s) before us. You can be Jupiter/ Uranus in Aries ~ bold, brave, maybe a bit foolhardy in seeking change and taking that leap of faith. You can be Saturn in Libra seeking balance, even handedness and relatedness in the structures you've created. Or you can be Pluto in Capricorn trying to open the triangles and power struggles to help them reach consciousness. Or you can bounce around between these three energies of the t-square.

Our week features Sun entering Leo to begin the proud lion's heart of summer. Jupiter stations at 3 Aries to go retrograde until November 19th causing our optimism to shift, swirl and reverse or change direction. Jupiter's station will bring a number of departures from earth of people whose time has come. Saturn enters Libra for a two year journey, evoking memories from 29 years ago. Chiron re-enters Aquarius on his retrograde journey, hopefully stopping the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. And for the Uranian astrologers among us, Poseidon stations and goes retrograde at 8 Scorpio bringing news of death and transformation from the sea and other chthonic deep, dark and very watery places. We also have a full moon in Aquarius. We have part two of the three part Jupiter Pluto closing square that often marks terrorist attacks. We have the final of three inconjuncts between Saturn and Chiron at 29:58 suggesting profound mourning or exhaustion and retriggering of our soul's wound. Ouch! We have Uranus and Saturn building to their last of five oppositions which takes place bright and early next week ~ but we feel the TENSION of it NOW! Uranus and Saturn have been fighting since the fall of 2008 asking us to change or recreate the structures in our lives. Keywords indicate Saturn ~discipline, duty, structure, tradition in a showdown with Uranus ~ unique, unusual, inventive and independent. It is taking place at 0 degrees starting a new life. It is cardinal so action is involved. The events from November 2008, February 2009, September 2009, and April 2010 are back for one more round of energy to help remind you what you want. However, THIS ONE is the one that COUNTS! The last time Saturn/Uranus opposed in Libra/Aries was 1509 so it's a rare one-time event in THIS lifetime! And we have the plain old regular run of the mill aspects too!

Any of the aspects listed above or the t-square following crisply on their heels are worth several paragraphs if not a page or two of description(s) on how to work with the energy. Thousands of words have been written by astrologers about the upcoming Cardinal Climax or t-square. The internet is awash in the words. It is simply too much to attempt to summarize or even describe the warring factions in the heavens. It is such a busy battlefield or arena or sport field of energies. And you know that I, a Virgo gal, love to organize those details and figure out how to work with it!

So I am going to fall back on what to do.

1. Do nothing (if you can). Stand in the stillness of the craziness around you. Find the balance point.

2. Lots of sleep. Lots of clear crisp water flowing through your body. Lots of healthy food ~ not junk stuff. Lots of deep breaths. Lots of visioning what you want. Lots of stretching out your muscles. Light candles and gaze into the flames.

3. Know it is a transit ~ that means IT WILL PASS ~ even if it feels like a permanent forever craziness right now. There is no need for a permanent solution to the problem. No guns. No knives. No craziness. No shouting. No out of control behaviors. Don't send crazy energy into an already swirling mess of energy. The sun will come up tomorrow.

4. Watch for your "old" issues to surface and dance around the room. All the stuff you've worked on for a long, long time will be up and dancing around in your head. Tell those old issues to hush up, to go sit in the corner, and play by themselves quietly.

5. Watch for your "new" life which will be emerging amidst the swirling energy. What calls your heart? What is it you deeply, deeply want to do? What do you need to push, and push gently at? Can you spend some time or energy on or in your new vision of how you will spend your life?

6. Listen for the "you nevers" or the "you should's" or the "you have to's". No you don't. That is what THEY WANT you to do FOR THEM. THEY HAVE TO DO IT FOR THEMSELVES! That is the purpose for the crossroads. We each have to do it for ourselves, starting now.

7. Ask for help. Open your mouth and ask for help. You are not alone on an iceberg adrift in the ocean. There are people who will help. You have a spirit guide, even if you've never talked to him/her. There are guardian angels and archangels designed for this purpose. I particularly like Michael for battle, competitive or warlike situations where you need a swift sword and support on your side of the room. I like Raphael for any kind of heart, physical or emotional healing. And, as my friend Shane says, "Angels are ephemeral and etheric so if you ask for help you are not "bothering" them from helping out with the murder taking place on the other side of town!" Shane's so descriptive! Angels exist TO HELP us. Angels were created to HELP us. However, the rules of the game are YOU HAVE TO ASK for help. Otherwise, unless it is life threatening (see 3 above), they CAN'T step in. Free will and all that jazz. You get to do it on your own unless you ask for help. ASK! I know, it sounds kind of woo-woo of me. It's not like you have to "believe" in Angels to get them to work. They aren't like Tinkerbelle where you have to "believe" ~ you don't even have to clap your hands! So if you've never tried it, ASK. Besides, here you are reading the suggestion to talk to angels in an astrology column. Do you "believe" in astrology? And how do you explain your interest in astrology to your more skeptical friends? Just ask for help really quietly when no one is listening! <wink>

8. My Reiki Mistress Lourdes reminded me that night and day exist as two polarities. While you can "darken" the day, and take away the light of the Sun by closing your blinds to make your room "dark", you can't take away the night's darkness and make it "light". Certainly, you can light a candle and illuminate the darkness, but it still is a dark time in the heavens. There are dark times in life, just the same as there are light times. Know that the balance exists for a reason even if you don't know why.

9. The t-square empties out into Cancer so the energy of needing extra nurturing is in that thar house! You can find you have problems with your stomach, intestines or body cavities such as your mouth or uterus. If your body is giving you a physical reason to take care of it, TAKE CARE of it! That signal means you need extra nurturing. I had a bout of bowel stuff when I was anxious about an emotional situation last week which is pretty rare for me. I've had loads of people appearing with their BODY's issues that demonstrate stress or a stomach ache as the t-square tightens. Take care of yourself!

10. The entire week, the Moon has good closing aspects so even if it is difficult energies, the DECISIONS and EVENTs begun this week will have good outcomes. Don't be afraid to be clear and ask for what you want as well as to ask for help.

Monday, July 19 finds Moon in intense Scorpio with lovely closing aspects to Saturn. Work that energy of transformation today and tomorrow. Sun wants to make a decision so he can move on with his life particularly around emotional, home or family issues. It is a good idea so follow it. You are clear what you want so ask for it. You will have STRESS asking for it, but ask anyway. Mercury is forming a Hammer of Thor or Fist of God with Jupiter and Pluto ~ speak and transformation takes place. Keep silent and transformation takes place. Mercury is the handle ~ the idea is transforming just by itself.

Tuesday, July 20, Moon in Scorpio continues to have lovely aspects evoking all sorts of emotional transformations as she aspects the water and earth planets in the heavens. Chiron enters Aquarius today, going retrograde. On the day that Chiron entered Pisces, the BP oil rig exploded so today we may have news on that front around stopping the leak. There is a partnership energy that is quite nice today so again ask for what you want or for help from your guides, people and the angels. Remember nobody needs to know that you asked!?! <wink> And I will never tell! Sun has an inconjunct to Neptune so you can find you are simply exhausted this evening. Watch for unique or different connections or ideas about how to proceed. It is a simply brilliant idea. While it may look dark, there is a solution near by. Ask for help.

Wednesday July 21 find Moon in Sagittarius and working very productively with both Uranus and Jupiter to further the vision and move the idea along. Aries combined with Sagittarius makes the idea flexible and fast moving and you are able to emotionally maneuver the situation brilliantly. You can get what you want today (or perhaps yesterday). Saturn pushes on a very old button as he is inconjunct to Chiron. This is a time to remember ALL THE DARNED WORK you've done in your lifetime getting clear on your issues. It IS your issue. It IS up for you to work with it. Own it. No projecting it onto the other guy or gal. No making them be responsible for YOUR behavior. You did it all by yourself. You have to pay the price or deal with the consequences of your behavior. And once you do that, you are free. Isn't that a great deal? Own it and you are free! Repress it and you are still captive. And you will remain captive forever! Saturn enters Libra today, finishing his 2 year journey in Virgo. Hear Virgos around the world exhale in a great sigh of relief! Call your mother. Call who ever nurtures you. Call your support team. Ask for help. Offer help where it is needed. Take the opportunity to give or relate to a fellow human being who looks like they are having a tough time.

Thursday July 22 Moon in Sagittarius continues to express itself in a positive and upbeat manner. Sun enters Leo today shifting us from the watery emotions of Cancer into the fire flare of Leo. Watch for sparks! Mercury trines Eris the Goddess of Discord so fights can erupt rapidly. Mercury squares Sedna so the Oceans will be speaking to us today. Listen to what they say. Sun in late Cancer causes emotions to flow deep and strong. It might be a good day for a good cry or for emotions to flow freely. Later in the day, you can get a great deal accomplished. Allow the vision to expand.

Friday July 23 Moon in Capricorn has lovely closing aspects of a trine to Mars in Virgo suggesting this is a terrific day for all kinds of work and activities.
Things will be serious but they will work out great. Sun works to make it a creative and unusual day. Or a day to celebrate something creative and unusual. Jolly Jupiter stations today amplifying the feelings of abundance and joy. And offering a great opportunity for a sun burn too! Mercury suggests to Uranus a plan for an adventure or road trip. Perhaps a new idea for surfing or moving forward with your life? It is a great idea so make sure to act on it. Chiron stops by to talk with his wise friend Hades. Today is a good day for older folks to take off and leave the earth. The energy of time is solid and frozen today. Or perhaps overheated and stalled? Either way, leave taking can take place.

Saturn's day, July 24 Moon in Capricorn continues his solitary journey and invokes Saturn in Libra as his mentor and guide. Again a lovely day to do work that is designed to move your career along. There is an energy of endings and celebrations today. Mercury takes a strategic approach and moves towards a new way of handling or dealing with a situation that isn't working for him right now. No complaints. He's just going to change how he does things. Poseidon stations at 8 Scorpio suggesting a swamping or highly emotional day. Mercury is very busy so watch for all the different kinds of communications you can have or hear of today.

Sunday, July 25, A Woman having her hair bobbed and a Deserter from the Navy are the Sabian Images for the Full Moon today. Read the Full Moon report on this site for more information on how to use the energy of the Full Moon in Aquarius in your life. Often we "cut" or "dye" our hair when we break up a relationship with someone. It one of my trusty indicators that a friend or client is really "finished" with the person they have been dating. Venus rules hair so chopping off your hair or changing it from one color to another often indicates a change in the matters ruled by Venus, a change of the heart. And, the LENGTH of time the change stays, can indicate how important the relationship was to the person making the change. A friend went from honey colored blonde hair to deep brunette hair when she ended her relationship. After a period of mourning, she recently returned to her blonde hair. Watch all the hair cuts that take place around this week as Saturn gets ready to oppose Uranus for the last time tomorrow. We might be "Deserting the ship" we've been traveling on, but we probably have a good reason to desert! And just because we leave, doesn't mean we are a rat leaving a sinking ship. You get the idea ~ apply appropriate metaphors here! Jupiter squares Pluto at 3 of the Cardinal signs~ action! However, think CAREFULLY about WHAT action you want to take. Words can be final today so watch what you say to people. Families can rupture. Mercury has an overdoing quality of thinking he is correct or right when he is in Leo. He can be blustery. While it might be right for YOU, it might be not right for the listener. Better to listen than talk. Two ears and one mouth ~ get the ratio right. Two listens to every word spoken. You can also inspire folks with your words today. The Full Moon makes all of us juicy, robust and expansive. It isn't a great Moon to talk about personal issues as the Aquarius Moon is detached. It is a great Moon to connect and relate via laughter and good times. ¡¡

Mundane: Mel Gibson is the poster child who demonstrates the difficult energy of the t-square taking place in the sky. Mel, born January 3, 1956 at 4:45 pm in Peekskill, NY, is a Capricorn with a Libra Moon on the world axis. He is carrying the shadow for the collective. We listen to his recorded rants at his ex-girlfriend and look at photos of her broken teeth. Whoopi Goldberg weighs in on the View that she doesn't think Mel's a racist, so she gets bombarded with calls, and returns to tell us all to kiss her butt. His agent dies and his agency lets him go. "He's burnt toast in Hollywood. He'll never work again in this industry!", shout the blogosphere. Mel's ex-wife of 30 plus years, the mother of his 7 children, testifies in the custody battle that he is not a man who hits women.

Your homework is to identify the parts of the t-square ~ Pluto in Capricorn ~ the dark, underbelly of power or sexual desire evoking, killing or threatening or the transformative change of evolution. Jupiter and Uranus in Aries ~ ranting, chaotic rage or sudden, fiery changes. Saturn in Virgo ~ secretly recorded conversations by downtrodden people, hard working structures that served you for 30 years (and had your children), or detailed data that supports a position published for all to see and hear on the internet.

Don't you just love astrology!?

And WHERE is that kind of energy going off in YOUR chart, causing all kinds of life changes? Hopefully they are not as dramatic as the ones going on in Mel's life!

As Dennis the Menace says, "Your shadow is just your reflection in the dark" We've glommed on to Mel and he's carrying the shadow for the collective. Time to claim our shadow back and evolve in our own lives.

One of the best things ive red about the transits that are taking place.

thank you VIG.

My chart is greatly aspected by the configuration,as you know:

- saturn/RULER 1ST entering libra will cj my ASC

- Pluto/Ruler 2nd is 3ºaway from my IC

- jupiter/ruler 3rd is cj DSC & Uranus/ruler 5th is approaching DSC

i know,i feel that the Changes are coming.These times are indeed the most important of our lives.

i just hope that i dont let Fear get in the way of making my dreams come true.

ive been visualizing what i want,been keeping a positive attitude and also trusting more on what Life brings.

i feel that i already changed a lot within,and so the exterior will also reflect those changes in a short time.

I've already been through so much the past couple of months emotionally...........UGH

I get a weekly email from ElsaElsa.com, and thought I would just add it on here to the Weekly Weather thread. Fasten your seat belts everyone, it's going to be a BUMPY RIDE.


July 22, 2010 - Kick Off Of The Summer's Cardinal T-Square

We enter a difficult period this week that will last through the end of August. To avoid gratuitous suffering, adjust your expectations.

There will be pressure on everyone, worldwide with people who have planets at the very late degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) or very early degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) taking the brunt of it.

You can groan if you want but we are talking about 5 weeks or so; not that long in the scheme of things and as is the case whenever there is a lot of energy available, great gains are possible. There will also be days of relative respite here and there and if you make a point of enjoying them, this time will pass faster and seem less egregious.

The days going into the weekend are harsh. Friday in particular is a cold day of calculation. This will manifest as cruelty in some quarters but others will find the fortitude to make changes or do things they've resisted or find frightening or even repulsive but know are necessary. Bashing into wall after wall after wall convinces a person.

Saturday is busy as people assimilate and apply insight gleaned on Friday but Sunday there is a true calm after the storm that offers a chance to bank gains for recent efforts.

Monday, people detach and Tuesday we get some drama. This may stress some but if you can look at it as entertainment, that should help.

We end the week on a spectacularly sensitive note. If you are the type to criticize, this would be a good time to keep your mouth shut and direct your anger towards manifesting something in your own life rather than slicing and dicing the person nearby.

This is because many people are just too compromised or challenged to cope with criticism. If you force your agenda at this time, you are likely to see people disappear from your life, leaving you holding an empty bag.

Good luck navigating this inarguably difficult week. If you want to talk about these issues or anything else, please schedule a phone appointment or contact me for an email consult.

Thanks and best wishes for a great week,
Elsa P
